The best restaurants in Marlborough West Wiltshire South West

Very helpful lady serving behind the bar. Offered to carry tray of drinks, then realised we were outfront so she opened the window and just passed the tray through. Very innovative and appreciated.

A great place on Marlborough High Street to meet friends for a catch up. Always a buzz downstairs or you can work quietly upstairs

My wife and I called in for lunch last weekend. The weather was lovely, the staff behind the bar were friendly, the flowers in the beer garden were nice, but unfortunately the food and the wait let it down. My wife opted for Fish and Chips and I opted for their Chicken Kiev. The fish with wife's meal was nicely battered (not too thickly) with nice chunky chips. Then it goes downhill from thereon. Her peas, which were supposed to be mushy, were a dried inedible blob on one side of her plate. However, the issue really came with my meal. To take two dried / breaded chicken pieces, lay a few thin slivers of cheese (presumably cheddar) on top and then place it in a pool of garlic butter with a ramekin of herby chips does not in my opinion a Chicken Kiev make.

We visited with family from France with dog who were looking forward to visiting for coffee and a light snack for lunch,we arrived on a dry bright Sunday lunch, although relatively busy, there were several tables empty, albeit full of dirty leftovers, when we pointed this out to the lovely girl behind d counter she promptly cleared table and wiped, from this point expectations fell away quickly, there was absolutely nothing to eat except carrot cake or muffins fresh or pre packed biscuits and flapjack ! We mentioned this to the counter staff who just said sorry were short staffed and low on food, there were 8 members of staff behind the counter ! Oh well, we ordered coffee which hit the spot first round fine, second round incorrect, then members of our party wished to visit the loo before leaving, a queue of several people waiting constantly to use 1 toilet that was disgustingly dirty from top to bottom ! All in all a poor experience of what some 18 months ago was a lovely place to visit, maybe it was just an Off day, but to have that many staff not doing a lot or cared a lot, not sure I would be in a hurry to revisit

A lovely little bistro, scores very highly for atmosphere (music and decor). It uses a small menu which changes daily but this means fresh ingredients! Friendly and helpful staff. We were in town for several days and ate here twice.

There are two ladies who work in here who are unfailingly polite, cheerful, unobtrusive and friendly. The reason for my adding of an extra star from my previous review is because of them. However, it seems that this branch of Costa attracts young male staff who are loud, use audible bad language and are over familiar (I object to being called ‘mate’). When I come to a Costa, I am expecting/hoping that I won’t be disturbed or distracted by very loud conversations, lots of ‘f’ words and inane ‘banter’.

Food was ok and cost quite a bit. Not really any parking either plus you have to walk down a main road to get past the railings to get to the shop.

It was fantastic I will be back for sure,

Lovely Breakfast and lovely staff at the cafe . The Food was great and reasonably priced. The young Teenage Lad working couldn’t have been more helpful if he tried . Will definitely return back to the cafe on a weekend , as it was a lovely morning .

I absolutely loved my stay from start to finish, it was just me and the dog. Warm welcome, from reception, swift check in and showed up to my room. I was in the Library room which was so big, spotlessly clean, and a lovely big cozy bed. For a Tuesday night the bar was busy which is always great to see, I sat with two lovely gents on one of the long tables. Great wine selection, and tasty menu and I opted for the Miso Cod, which was absolutely delicious, massive chunky Cod portion with perfectly cooked crushed potatoes and tenderstem brocoli, i could literally eat that dinner every evening. Early night for me, the room is above the bar and you can hear every word spoken below, however as service ended so did any noises and I slept peacefully. Again great variety at breakfast and warm welcome, I would love to return.

Nice enough room but no one turned up for breakfast. Waited for an hour in empty pub, gave up and left.

Meager portions, seriously expensive for what you actually get but I have tasted worse....🤔

Went for dinner in the evening and sat at the front near the windows. Overall the service was incredibly slow! Another customer who was there with her young daughter also commented on how slow the service was saying, “they’re always under staffed here”. Finally got our food which was nice but the pizza I ordered was meant to have salad in the middle but it was just a LOT of rocket. No other salad at all which I didn’t think was right. Asked a staff member and he said, sorry must be a mistake in the kitchen, it’s meant to have some spinach leaves too. The menu said, “salad”, which I’m sure most people would assume should contain more than just rocket and/or a few spinach leaves. Overall the food was good and service was friendly but far too slow for somewhere that wasn’t even busy. I felt they prioritised takeaway orders, leaving diners waiting a long time for their food and drinks.

Great pub, lovely food, quality drinks and awesome staff

This pub is open. This pub sells excellent beer, it is friendly, and they allow you to bring your own food. Refurbished in the last couple of years, it's probably the best pub in Marlborough.
